THE VEHICLE IS VERY BOUNCY AND HARD TO STEER. TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP THEY ADVISED IT NEEDED NEW SHOCK ABSORBERS. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ, SURBURBAN LTZ, CADILLAC ESCALADE AND GMC DENALI THAT GENERAL MOTORS IS FAILING TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF.

SERVICE BRAKES
SINCE MAY THE BRAKES HAVE NOT WORKED INTERMITTENTLY AND TO STOP THE CAR I HAD TO PRESS DOWN AS HARD AS POSSIBLE. EARLY ON I HAD THE FLUID LEVELS AND BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE FINE SO I WAS NOT SURE OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL I SAW A BULLETIN FROM YOUR OFFICE. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS LOW OUTPUT FROM THE VACUUM PUMP. IT COST NEARLY $700 TO REPLACE AND IN MY OPINION SHOULD BE PUT ON RECALL AS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE THE BRAKES FAIL INTERMITTENTLY. I ALMOST HAD A NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE PULLED FROM THE WATER WHEN LAUNCHING MY BOAT.

THE MAGNETIC RIDE STRUTS ON MY TAHOE LTD ARE FAILING. SEEMS TO BE A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. THE DISCUSSION BOARDS ARE FULL OF FAILURES BEGINNING IN THE 30,000 MILES. THEY ALSO APPEAR TO BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE STRUT ON A CHEVROLET. SAME STRUT AS A CADILLAC ESCALADE OR A GMC YUKON DENALI. WHICH APPEAR TO HAVE A HIGH FAILURE RATE. ALSO FOUND ON HIGHER END GMC AND CHEVROLET PICKUPS.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DEPRESS AT LOW SPEEDS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO STOP. SEEMS LIKE THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS FAILING TO APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM. HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS SO I WANTED TO DOCUMENT ONE MORE CASE TO PUSH GM FOR A RECALL. MY FAMILY ALMOST HAD A BAD CRASH THE OTHER DAY DUE TO THIS AND NOW IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. ABS IS NOT ACTIVATING TO CAUSE THIS, IT IS MORE A LACK OF BOOST IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM. WE ONLY HAVE 40,000 MILES ON OUR TRUCK.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES SUDDENLY BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO APPLY AT LOW SPEEDS. BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF AND WOULDN'T ENGAGE. I FIRST NOTICED IT WHILE PULLING IN A PARKING SPACE THEN REVERSING TO STRAIGHTEN THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES WOULDN'T ENGAGE AND I HAD TO PRESS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THIS FIRST OCCURANCE HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 5:00 PM ON NOVEMBER 11, 2018 IN ORLANDO, FL. AT THIS TIME, I NOTICED THE ISSUE BUT AFTER I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED, IT APPEARED TO BE RESOLVED. I CONTINUED MY EVENING AND DROVE SEVERAL PLACES AND EVENTUALLY DROVE BACK HOME TO TAMPA, FL WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. UPON REACHING MY DESTINATION AND ATTEMPTING TO PARALLEL PARK, THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN. I TURNED OF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT AND THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF. I DID NOT DRIVE IT AGAIN. I SUSPECTED AN ISSUE WITH THE VACUUM PUMP AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DIMMITT CHEVROLET IN CLEARWATER, FL THE FOLLOWING MORNING. DIMMITT "VERIFIED CONCERN. PERFORMED DIAG. FOUND ENGINE VACUUM PUMP IS WEAK AND NOT PULLING ENOUGH VACUUM AT TIMES." DIMMITT "REMOVED AND REPLACED VACUUM PUMP."

SERVICE BRAKES
ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, PARTICULARLY AT LOW SPEEDS AND GOING IN REVERSE, THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO PRESS AND DELAYS THE BRAKING. I SAW IN THE NEWS THAT THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS OR SIMILAR PROBLEM. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO MY DEALERS 2 DIFFERENT TIMES. ONCE THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING. THE NEXT TIME THEY MADE SOME REPAIR BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. IT IS VERY INTERMITTENT BUT EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING WHEN IT HAPPENS. GOING IN REVERSE ON A SLOPE (OUT OF A DRIVEWAY) IS PARTICULARLY CONCERNING. HAVE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS. I HAVE APPROX 95,000 ON MY VEHICLE.

I HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY BREAKS AND CHEVY SAID IT WAS MY BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. THEY REPLACED IT AT MY COST. I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY SO IT ONLY COST ME A $150 DEDUCTIBLE. I JUST READ ABOUT THIS IN THE NEWS AND DECIDED TO REPORT IT. BUT IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC, I CONSTANTLY FELT THAT MY BREAKS WERE GONE AND ALMOST REAR ENDED SEVERAL DIFFERENT CARS
